Riding / Shooting at Bullards Bar with the Hoffans and my friends in chase boat for our week-long houseboat trip. Awesome water, perfect X-Star wake, and feeling the flow!

Spring Ride on Cinco DeMayo! Meeting new wwr's and visiting with long time friends.

Installing NVS tower speakers on my boat. Pro freaking audio opened my ears to a whole new world when riding.

Finally being able to ride wake to wake toeside.

My last run of the season was, by far, the highlight. This is only my second season riding and I did it without my right ACL. In that last session, I landed all four front-side one wake 180s, a ton of heelside w2w (some with grabs), and attempted a toeside frontside w2w 180 (I landed on the second wake, but held on and rode out of it -- I'll hit it next season for sure). And the best part, we got it all on camera. So I can watch it over and over again all winter long while I'm recovering from surgery.

Can't wait for next season!

Riding with Stef Tor and watching her land her kick flip in person. As well as spending the weekend with her. She is such an amazing person, and coach. My little girl is 4 and she has got her working on surface 180s. It was such an awesome weekend we had so much fun!!

(ironj32) · (ironj32) **Join Date: Jan 2007** 09-25-2007, 4:36 AM

my highlight of the season would be actually dedicating myself to riding. the past 8 years have all been 1 or 2 runs a season because of h.s. & college football.
learned and got consistent at:
hs grabbed backroll
raley
hoochie glide
hs/ts 3's
hs/ts 180's
hs frontflip
scarecrow
hopefully we can add to this list over the next month. buying my XStar is also a pretty big highlight for me.

Michael....how dare you? You can't end the season yet

Mine was when we scheduled two days of private clinics with Gerry Nunn. Got to meet some new cool wakeboard friends. Learned a ton from watching others and trying to up my game as well. Gerry is an awesome instructor. We are bringing him back for 08 but this time it will be for 4 to 5 days of clinics. Had to turn a lot of people away last year when we were filling two spots for our second day because of last minute back outs.

Just being on the water with friends sharing the stoke and seeing them all progress. Oh ya and watching the my friends kids faces when they got to wakeboard with their parents.

There is nothing better then seeing a kid at the age of 2 asking dad to take him wakeboarding every time his dad hit the water thats priceless.

Hopefully he will carry on our love for riding for years to come.

Not only got a chance to ride the best butter here in UT,

Highlight this season same as last season -- hanging with my crew in the boat, having fun, trying (and sometimes learning) new things, having great friends. We're all at different levels but share the bond of wakeboarding/surfing and friendship.
